Confession Offered one-half hour before all Liturgies; after Saturday evening Great Vespers

Please call the Rectory at (708) 519-0663 for schedule of other services or to arrange Baptisms, Marriages, Memorials, Thanksgiving Services, etc.

The Divine Liturgy

This is the Eucharistic service of the Orthodox Church, served every Sunday and on select feast days. Communion is available for Orthodox Christians who have prepared themselves with prayer, recent confession, and fasting from midnight. Our second Sunday liturgy is mostly in Church Slavonic, with some English.

Vespers

Served on Saturday evening or on the eves of feasts, in Vespers we hear more hymns of the Resurrection of Our Lord or about the feast/saint being remembered than at the Divine Liturgy. Attending Vespers is an excellent way to prepare for the Divine Liturgy.

Confession

The sacrament of Confession is an opportunity for Orthodox Christians to bring their hurts, falls, and sins before the Lord, to repent of those sins, and receive healing from the great Physician of souls and bodies, Our Lord Jesus Christ. Confession is available after Vespers and, during Great Lent, before the Divine Liturgy.
